What My Clients Have To Say

  • Jill was wonderful - She always worked around our busy schedules and made visiting the locations easy, even dropping us off afterwards! She always responded quickly to email, even late into the night. Because this was our first home buying experience, we really relied on her expertise and she gave us wonderful referrals for everything from a mortgage company to movers.

    Peter and Kristin, River North, Chicago
  • Our experience with Jill & Dreamtown was great, right from the start. We had almost given up hope of finding a place in the city when 2 other realtors wouldnt work with us. We were about to start looking in the suburbs, when we found Dreamtown online. Jill was awesome. Within days of our first conversation, we were looking at condos in the city, and made an offer after our second time out. Now we are in our Albany Park condo and couldnt be happier. Thanks, Jill!

    Thomas, Lisa and Emma, Irving Park East
  • If Jill Hare was a word in the dictionary, then the following words/phrases will be noted next to that word  Jill Hare.
    Negotiating prowess, accommodating, patient, professional, always available, flexible, knows the market, understands the market and eager to learn what is important to you  the client.
    The search for a second home in the city was a 3 year and multiple realtor process. Jill was able to decode what I was looking for and was integral in making the deal happen. A true real estate aficionado that delivers want you need.

    Jill, thank you for all you did!

    Ross Bravo, Lakeview
  • The difference between Jill Hare and other real estate agents is the difference between looking and finding. Two days after we started searching for our condominium we found the perfect place. Jill has a keen ability to sum up likes and dislikes, cut to the chase and get there. Plus, her affable personality makes getting there fun. Her negotiating on our behalf was hard-nosed and her recommendation of a top-notch attorney to represent us was greatly appreciated. What a nice experience!

    Maxine Kesten and Fred Brownfeld, Loop
  • Our experience with Dream Town Realty was great. Our agent, Jill Hare, was extremely helpful with the aquisition of our new place. Due to the nature of our loan, it was a process that required a lot of patience and persistance. Ms. Hare did a fantastic job for us. Thank you, Jill!

    Dominic Rose, John Caprilla, and John Moore., West Loop
  • Jill Hare and Dream Town made my first house purchase a thoroughly enjoyable and pain-free experience! Jill was extremely accessible and always patient in helping me navigate the market. I recommend her to anyone looking for a place in Chicago.

    Kevin Cope, Wicker Park
  • Jill from Dreamtown was truly a dream to work with! Our move from Las Vegas to Chicago was made so much easier with her help in finding a perfect new home. From her knowledge of Chicago neighborhoods to her immediate response of sending listed properties to arranging 2 full-packed days of house-hunting when we were in town, she was always on the ball. We highly recommend Jill to anyone who is in need of a new home!

    Candice and Frank Dagnillo, Wicker Park
  • Working with Jill was a tremendous experience. Her knowledge of the real estate market in chicago was aces. The support she and Dream Town gave me were essential to my purchase. I'd be living in a van down by the river if not for jill's help, guidance and expertise. Jill hare rocks!

    Richard Drake, Uptown

  • We had an excellent buying experience with Jill.  She worked hard to find a property that fit our goals and needs.  We never felt pressured and always felt that she had our best interests at heart.  She pointed out positives and negatives of various properties that we wouldn't have noticed, suggested upgrades we wouldn't have thought of, thoroughly explained and analyzed prices to ensure we were getting good value for our money, and negotiated strongly on our behalf.  She understands every aspect of the real estate market well and was an invaluable resource.   We feel confident that we got an excellent property at a competitive price thanks to her.

  • I worked with Jill on selling my place in Lakeview the summer of 2005. Jill was able to help me with great recommendations on how to more effectively show my place. She could easily be on HGTV hosting one of the shows like "Sell this House". Jill easily determined what I had in mind after seeing only a few properties. She made the process very efficient, fun, and profitable.

    I have referred a few friends to Jill. I appreciate people who work as hard as Jill and really watch out for her customers. She has a passion for her profession that really shines through. I will continue to send friends to her, she is top notch.

    Sincerely,
    Michael A Gallagher, Sold in Lakeview and bought in Edgewater
  • I was very satisfied with the professional courtesy demonstrated by the Dreamtown Realty staff. In particular, I was very happy with Jill Hare's services as a buyer's agent. Jill helped me negotiate a good price on my condo and made sure that the transaction was very smooth overall. I was especially impressed with Jill's willingness to go above and beyond the call of duty (such as meeting me off-hours to prepare the offer) to help me close on my purchase. Jill's referrals were also excellent and made the home-buying process a lot less stressful than I thought it would be!

    Thanks Dreamtown!

    Walter Goulet, Logan Square
  • I recently purchased a loft home from Jill Hare at Dream Town Realty. I was fortunate enough to end up with Jill as my real estate agent. When I first started looking for a place about 8 months ago, I had simply emailed Dream Town Realty what I was looking for. Jill emailed me back that day and was ALWAYS available! I have a very hectic schedule, as most people do, and Jill made it very easy to get a hold of her and to see properties on my "schedule". Jill set up a wonderful real estate web site through Dream Town Realty and would send me properties to look at everyday. This web site was a life saver! I could come home late at night and look through the properties and right then, email Jill what I was and was not interested in, as well as any questions I had. Jill responded within 24 hours, always!! Jill was also very knowledgeable, not only about the properties we looked at, but also about the market in general. She helped me make the right decision for ME! I have already given her name to friends, co-workers, family and anyone who asks me about my recent real estate purchase. Thanks again, Jill, for all your very "personable" help and insight!

    Kathleen Harley, Printer's Row
  • Hey Jill,

    Chris and I want to thank you for the wonderful care and attention you put into helping us find our first home. You came to us highly recommended and delivered above expectations. You (and everyone at Dream Town), made this so smooth, we are kicking ourselves for not buying sooner. We are happy to give a testimonial to any potential future clients of yours. Don't forget we are due to have cocktails one of these days.

    Sincerely,

    David & Chris, River North
  • From the day we followed a link to Dreamtown's website to the day we closed on our new condominium, we knew that we were in good hands. Our real estate agent was Jill Hare, who is the epitomy of professionalism and politeness--not to mention fashion. Once Jill learned the kind of place and the locations we were interested in, she began taking us to places that met or exceeded our expectations. All of our phone calls were promptly returned, and we had the feeling that we were Jill's only clients. She is the type of real estate agent who will climb up a pile of rocks in high heels to show a client a newly constructed property if she thinks it is right for them. Jill is personable, relaxed, and friendly. No hard sell, no sound bytes, just excellent service from start to end.

    Eric Henry and Keith Janosik, United Center Park
  • Jill was fabulous! I was moving to Chicago from out-of-state and was not familiar with the area at all. I was extremely apprehensive and unsure of where and what to buy. Jill was very knowledgeable about each and every Chicago neighborhood and the real estate market in general. Jill took the time to answer all my questions, no matter how basic they were. She was very patient and understanding of the needs and nervousness of a first time buyer. I completely trusted her and highly recommend her.
    Jill is one of the rare few individuals who is completely dedicated to her job and is passionate and enthusiastic about what she does. Jill truly cares about her clients. Jill was much more than just a real estate agent; she was a friend through the home buying process.

    Jana Jobes, Lincoln Park
  • I'm so glad I stumbled upon Dream Town during my condo search. Jill was a real pleasure to work with it, she was great at picking up on what I liked and didn't liked, so she was able to show me exactly the kind of places I was looking for. She was great at answering all my first-time buyer questions and she was very patient throughout the whole process. She also accommodated to my late evening showings which I appreciated so much! I'd recommend Jill to anyone who is looking to buy a place, you definitely won't be disappointed. Jill, thanks so much for all your help!

    Sweta Kapadia, Lakeview
  • When I was initially looking for a real estate company to help me in my first home buying experience, it was great to find an agent as knowledgeable, dedicated and determined as Jill. I am truly grateful she was on board during the entire experience. She maintained such professionalism and tactfulness throughout the process. Jill was reliable from our initial meeting to the day of closing. Knowing Jill was there put my worries at ease.

    I would certainly recommend Jill to anyone. She ensures not only meeting her clients' needs but finding a place they would be happy to call "home". I see why Jill earned the title as the number #1 real estate agent in the city because the results speak for themselves.

    Jill, thanks for everything!

    Roxsand King, Hyde Park
  • My husband and I were first time home buyers searching in the Lincoln Square neighborhood. Jill was a great resource with significant knowledge of the neighborhood and property mix, she listened to our criteria and found many great places in our price range - AND close to the train! When we decided on our condo Jill jumped into action, and we had a contract the same day! Jill was great throughout the entire process providing education and always keeping us up to date on next steps. Our first time home process was so smooth, a great experience. We will certainly be passing on Jill's contact information to other potential buyers.

    Erin and Todd Lido, Lincoln Square
  • Dreamtown offered the greatest selection of available condos and through working with Jill I could quickly narrow down the scope of my search. I then conveniently received emails of new apartment listings that fit this profile. Jill is an amazing agent that scoured the city for apartments to my liking. She is personable and understanding of the various aspects that face a first time buyer. She came with insightful recommendations and was able to streamline the apartment-showings for my convenience. She kept modifying the list of apartments to show me, as she gained a better understanding of what I was looking for, even as we were driving to the apartments. I am now sitting in a wonderful condo looking out over the lake, that I found on my first day of looking.

    A. Lindahl, River North
  • Working with Jill was so much fun!!! She immediatly makes you feel like she is looking out for your best interest and will be with you every step of the way. I know I can trust and count on her to give me the best advice and her professional opinion, which is greatly needed when you are a first time buyer! Jill will be my agent for life :)

    Jill Lynn, River North
  • Being from Milwaukee and real estate shopping in Chicago was not the easiest task, however the internet did help us to find Jill which was a complete stroke of luck! I went on to her website and she placed a personal call within the hour - talk about great service! She was sharp, informative and made every effort to find a property within our price range and within two weeks we were all set. She also made some great referrals as far as an attorney, a mortgage company and even a mover who gave us a discount because of Jill! I would not hesitate to use her services again - she is the best realtor that we have ever worked with!

    Diane & Terry McGauran, Gold Coast
  • Julie and I met Jill as a blind internet lead. A suburban couple interested in an "In Town" Condo for weekends. We didn't need to buy a home and were not under any time constraints to do so. We wanted to see what was out there. Jill took our request very seriously and worked with us like we had been an short notice transfer to the city.

    She took us to a few places and the third one we looked at was what we had envisioned. Worked out the pricing, made an offer and about a month later we closed. She did a great job in working through all the processes and the closing was easy. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a place in Chicago. Plus she has great restaurant recommendations.

    David Mikols
  • It was very hard to find a place where we felt comfortable, so I'm thankful to Jill for helping me find the proper place for me and my family. She knew exactly what we wanted! If anyone needs a real estate agent, Jill is the right person.

    Jill, thank you very much!

    Magdalena & Piotr Miszczak , Roger's Park
  • Jill Hare made homebuying a wonderful and enlightening experience. She was prompt, thorough and patient. We had access to many different listings and Jill was able to accomodate the many places we saw. When it came down to decision-making, Jill had excellent insights and was not pushy. She gave us the room to think and make the right decision. She is talented, intelligent and a great agent.

    All the best, Ari and Evan, River North
  • Jill was a wonderful & hard-working agent who quickly understood my needs. I needed a place within a short time frame and she successfully met my needs. Unlike other agents, Jill was reliable, used her strong communication skills, and was able to work independently. She convinced the seller to lower the purchase price to the price I was hoping for. I now have a place that is perfect for me, all within one month's time.

    Alie Muneer, Wicker Park/Ukrainian Village
  • After just a handful of viewings, Jill was able to use her stylish intuition to find our dream home of which was not even listed in her database. The place was everything we would have hoped for and she knew our style almost instantly after meeting us. The bidding process was negotiated flawlessly and her recommendations for a mortgage broker, inspector, and lawyer were outstanding. Jill knows Chicago and knows her clients; she will find exactly want they want and will make the process one worth remembering for a lifetime. Thanks Jill!

    Dan and Anja Nanz, River West
  • As to the quality of our service, Al and I are completely satisfied and thrilled with every detail Jill Hare provided. Our overall satisfaction is 100% ecstatic and 100% happy with our experience! We love Dream Town and will refer Jill to all of our friends!

    Al and Stacy Nappo, Naperville
  • As a first time home buyer, I found Jill to be very friendly, energetic, and helpful throughout the whole process. She always answered my questions promptly (and I had a lot of them) and had great recommendations for inspectors and movers. I also found Dreamtown's website to be user friendly.

    Have a great week and thanks again!

    Kei Noguchi, River North
  • Buying a place can be stressful, but Jill makes it easy and fun. Shes knowledgeable about the market and neighborhoods and she will match you to your dream home in no time. Jill is extremely accommodating, helpful, and an excellent negotiator. She also has a great team&.her recommendations lead me to my lender and attorney. Jill helped me all the way through always answering my questions in a timely manner&even responding to e-mail while at the airport! Now that Im happily living in my new space, Jill continues to keep in touch. Ill definitely recommend Jill and Dream Town to anyone looking to buy. Shes the hardest working agent in Chicago!

    Liz Novak, Lakeview
  • I loved having Jill as my real estate agent! When I started looking for my condo, I had a general sense of the type of unit that I wanted and the area that I wanted to live in, but I needed some help with the specifics. Jill quickly picked up on what I wanted both aesthetically and functionally, and only showed me units that fit well with what I was looking for. As a result, the actual condo search only took a few weeks. During the search, Jill always went above and beyond to accomodate my schedule and my requests. During the search, negotiation, mortgage approval, and closing, she was always available and willing to answer the numerous first-time home buyer questions that I had. She also clearly always had my best interest at heart. The process of buying a condo was so easy and so stress-free thanks to Jill! I would (and already have) recommend her to anyone who is interested in buying a home!

    Charulata, South Loop
  • I came upon the Dreamtown website a couple years ago during the search for my 1st place. When I was on the search for my 2nd place, it was the only site that remembered enjoying using the 1st time-around. I was specifically looking in the West Loop and Jill had most of the listings I liked. I set up a day of calls, then a few follow-ups to narrow things down. Jill was great throughout the entire process. She was never pushy and made the whole thing easier to handle. During the negotiation she was aggressive without jeopardizing the deal. She helped me all the way to the closing, and was actually there (with champagne) to seal the deal. Buying a place is never easy, but Jill made it enjoyable, and thats hard to do.

    Jim Rapp, West Loop
  • Jill was so amazing in helping us with our search for a home. She knew exactly what we wanted and showed us great properties to look at and we found our new home in just one outing with her. She is the best realtor we have worked with and would work with her again and also recommend her in a heartbeat! She went above and beyond to accommodate us while we were away on vacation before we closed, we couldn't have done it without her.

    Christine & Mike Redel, Bucktown
  • I recently purchased a condo with the help of Dream Town Realty and you made my buying experience a lot easier, in particular because of your web site and real estate agent, Jill Hare.

    Your web site allowed me to sign up for property alerts. The same alerts were sent to my agent Jill. It saved us both time from going to do searches for new listings on a regular basis.

    Jill was great to work with. She helped me find the right home because she listened attentively to my wants and needs. I know Jill listened to me because she only showed me the types of properties that I asked to see and as a busy professional I don't have time to waste. I don't have a car, however that wasn't an issue because Jill would pick me up and drop me off wherever I wanted. Throughout the whole home buying process, Jill always kept me informed and was available to help me at all times. I am keeping Jill's contact information so I can recommend her to family and friends when they ask if I know a good agent.

    Corina, West Loop
  • Jill made my experience as a first time buyer very enjoyable. She was very accommodating in showing me properties and was wonderful at explaining the details and assisting me through the entire purchase process. Her great personality also made the experience a lot of fun. I am very happy with the service I received from Jill and will definitely recommend her to others.

    Thanks Jill!
    Jenee Roosa, Gold Coast
  • Jill acted as both our agent to sell our house and to buy another property; she was extremely attuned at figuring out what we were looking for and worked tirelessly setting up appointments, showing our house, dealing with contracts -- she was a powerhouse!

    Luigi Salerni and Jay Disney, South Loop
  • Jill was very a very calm, patient, and understanding agent throughout my search for exactly what I was looking for, even if I didn't know it myself, and, importantly, it was a pleasure to discuss ideas, options and neighborhoods with her in between appointments. She was especially helpful when, after putting down initial earnest money on a property, I pulled out, and Jill smoothly extricated me in a potentially stressful situation. She was always connected and available by phone and email, which just enhanced Dreamtown's real forte, the MLS-based email updates and great online software for buyer-directed searches, which I loved using.

    Eric Savlin, Lincoln Square
  • We found Dream Town to be extremely useful and resourceful. Jill Hare is the best. She listened to us and found our dream home quickly. Thanks Dream Town!

    John and Lauren Schifferdecker
    Gold Coast
  • Despite an extensive search for a new home (both on our own and with the help of various real estate agents), our quest was filled with dead ends wherever we looked. We were delighted to meet Jill Hare through the Dream Town website. She was pleasant, knowledgeable, and extremely focused. Most importantly, she made it a priority to seek out whatever was most important to us. We were impressed to see that she had the whole process down to a science and found her insights to be very useful. As first-time home buyers, we also appreciated her keen ability to anticipate and prepare us for each step of the process. Amazingly, we ended up buying the first place that she showed us! We couldn't be happier with our new home and are grateful for the role she played in making the whole thing a reality.

    Ravi Shah and Lorie Salerno, River North
  • My experience with Jill Hare and Dreamtown was excellent throughout the whole process of buying a condo. I was initially attracted to Dreamtown because of its website, which offered a wide selection of properties in the areas I was seeking. Before even contacting Jill, I was able to make a narrow list of potential properties based on my own specifications from the website. Shortly thereafter Jill took me to see many of those properties, and within a short time I was able to find the condo that was right for me.

    The level of service I received from Jill was more than satisfactory. I really appreciated that she always promptly returned my phone calls and emails, and she went out of her way to be available around my schedule. Jill is also a very knowledgable realtor who was able to answer all of my questions in a thorough manner. It was a pleasure to be able to work with Jill and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy property.

    Ethan Sinnema, Lincoln Park
  • Jill provided great assistance in helping find a home that suited my needs. Unlike other agents Ive worked with who like to stretch a buyers boundaries, she consistently showed me properties that fit my specified location, price range, and overall layout criteria. Jill even went well above her duties as a realtor by being available at all time, being a valuable resource for any questions I had. She even helped pick out counter tops.

    Hope youre doing well,

    Anthony Tabion, Logan Square
  • A consummate professional, Jill Hare made my transition into the Chicago housing market a fun and highly educational experience. For eight months, and with a smile, Jill took my calls and e-mails while I looked for the right place. Every time she took me out to look at properties, knowing fully that I was not going to be ready to buy for more than 6 months, she treated me like I would put an offer down that day. Jill knew I was a long-term client& I know time is money& I never felt pressure or that I was wasting her time. She offers valuable opinions, advice and insight when sought, which for me was crucial. I am extremely happy with my purchase and could not be more pleased with the services of such a fun and hip realtor. Jill, many, many thanks to you. Dream Town, I hope you realize the treasure you have in Jill.

    Tony Tangora, Lakeview
  • Jill Hare, Dream Town Real Estate, was recommended to us by a friend who had recently bought a condo with Jills help. My wife & I were in the market for a condo as an investment property and as a rental for my daughter who had enrolled in a doctoral program in Chicago. Jill is knowledgeable about the Chicago market and helpful in finding exactly what we were looking with very few trips to Chicago since our time was limited. We have worked with good realtors over the years in many locations&New Jersey, South Carolina, Michigan, Indiana and Illinois. However, we were really impressed with Jills professionalism and we consider Jill at the top of the list. We plan to go back to her when were ready to sell.
    The Marks, Lakeview
  • Buying your first piece of real estate whether it is a condo, duplex, or single family home can be quite a daunting task. I knew pretty much what I wanted and in what neighborhood, but I had so many questions and didnt know who to ask. I signed up about a year ago to get updates from Dream Town Realty off of their web site and after answering a few simple questions I began receiving e-mails of potential properties that fit my criteria. No one bothered me or called me to pressure me into anything, I received updates about twice a week and I would look them over but wasnt sure I was ready to act on anything. When the time came and I began to get more serious about my search I requested to look at a few places and got a phone call that afternoon from Jill Hare, one of the realtors at Dream Town. She could not have been any more helpful or patient with me and that is certainly what I needed being a first time buyer with many questions. Over the span of about a month she worked around my hectic schedule to set up appointments to see potential places. As we walked through sites she would ask me questions and then go back to the office and send me more listings with my new requirements. After seeing probably 20 places we found what I was looking for and I say we because throughout the process I felt like Jill and I were working as a team to find the right place. She completely explained my options when it came to making an offer and I ended up getting the place I wanted at the price I wanted. I have come away from this whole process feeling very comfortable with everything that I did. Originally I was nervous and even a bit scared of buying my first place but after working with Dream Town and especially Jill, I feel confident that I went with the right realty group. I would without reservation recommend Jill Hare and Dream Town to all of my friends and family, in fact I have already done so.

    T.R. Bell, Old Town
  • Jill was diligent in always making herself available to show our property, and worked hard to find a buyer. Because we maintained quite a firm asking price, we held out for dozens and dozens of showings, yet Jill always retained a positive attitude. Her greatest strength was in the negotiating phases (both buying and selling), where Jill respected that we had our bottom line and was brilliant in walking the tenuous line between maintaining a firm negotiating position on our behalf while at the same time not alienating the counter-party. We were very pleased with her efforts both in the sale of our old property and in the purchase of the new one.

    Rupert Vaughan, Bridgeport
  • Jill Hare was excellent to work with! She understood what I was looking for and located the right home for me. She's reliable, prompt and professional. She was extremely thorough with the entire process. I know that I can count on her again for my next purchase.

    Jessica Vong, Gold Coast
  • Jill Hare was the best realtor we could have wished for. As first time buyers, we didn't know where to start and she helped us at every turn. Each time we met with Jill, she showed us something great. She answered all of our questions and was a pleasure to work with.

    Michelle Thomas, Ravenswood
  • Jill is the best!! She is always there to answer your questions no matter how many you have or what time of day you ask her. And believe me, I asked a lot of questions!! Jill is so fun and such a pleasure to work with. I love my new place.

    Thanks Jill!

    Rita, Lincoln Park
  • As "out of town" buyers, we couldn't have been more pleased with our experience with Jill. She kept us updated on available properties and educated us on the Chicago market. Once we chose a property, she negotiated a great price. She worked with us on all of the details and kept us informed every step of the way. We were very pleased with the whole process. The Yelle Family, Lincoln Park
  • I suspect you are already aware of this, but I would like to make sure you add my name to a LIST OF HAPPY CUSTOMERS to your company files: JILL HARE is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! From the moment our daughter, Toni, contacted her in January, to the week after closing on our condo in Chicago, Jill was the most professional AND caring realtor I have had the pleasure of working with. This has been a truly pleasant experience to work with Jill; she never once pressured us to purchase any of the properties we viewed; and, when we found a property we were interested in, Jill went beyond being just a realtor trying to sell a property, she was truly sincere in helping us with all aspects of the purchasing process, providing much needed insight and information to make this process very comfortable and as easy as possible --- in spite of trying moments we had with the seller. I would not hesitate in recommending Jill to anyone interested in purchasing property in Chicago; I APPLAUD your company for being associated with Jill; she is quite an asset to your firm.

    Mary, Toni and Emily, South Loop
  • I was referred to Jill Hare by two close friends. Both recently had great experiences working with her so I knew my experience would work out well. Jill's knowledge of the market, experience and professionalism definitely made my experience very enjoyable and stress-free. Being a first-time buyer, this was very important. Jill always has a flexible schedule and is never satisfied until her clients are. I would highly recommend using Dream Town and Jill to anyone looking to buy in Chicago. I can't thank you enough for helping me find a great place to live.

    Alex Unis, Lincoln Square
  • We loved working with Jill because she is patient, energetic and (most importantly) a tough negotiator. When we found a building that we liked, Jill rearranged her schedule to get us into every available unit in the building that same day. We are thrilled with our loft and would highly recommend Jill to anyone in the market for a new home.

    Sarah Donovan and Jordan Shields, Ravenswood
  • Jill Hare separates herself from other realtors by genuinely listening to her client's needs, as opposed to being solely driven by sales numbers. You truly feel as though she wants you to be a happy and fulfilled customer. That's rare in such a competitive industry.

    Vic Simonelli, Gold Coast
  • I was a first time buyer and also a very motivated buyer. Jill sensed this and wasted no time in learning what I was looking for in a home. She maintains an excellent grasp of the market and used her knowledge to quickly pinpoint a number of available properties that fit my wants and needs. We quickly zeroed in on a wonderful condo and before I knew it, with Jill's expertise and tenacity at my disposal, I was closed and preparing to move. As I told her at my closing, based on my experiences with Jill and Dream Town, I won't ever need anyone else.

    Zachary Mitchell, South Loop
  • Jill Hare was a very energetic and hardworking real estate agent. We were moving to Chicago from the West Coast and she was able to coordinate our schedules. She is prompt and very well organized as well.

    Chris and Gloria Kim, Kilbourn Park
  • I was just browsing around the Dream Town website and I signed up so I could talk to someone. Jill emailed me within 12 hours of me submitting my request. She immediately made me comfortable with the process, especially because I literally knew nothing about buying a house. She hung on when I told her that I wasnt going to be buying a place for approximately 6 months. During that time, Jill was still showing me places and helping me to understand the process of buying a new apartment/condo. When the time came to pick a final few, Jill helped me understand what types of things I should be looking at in order to make an educated decision. She also referred me to an inspector and a lawyer, both who I would absolutely recommend myself, after dealing with them. Jill was at my closing and still made sure that I was comfortable with everything during every step of the closing.

    She was even generous enough to give me some gift cards as a closing gift so I could start painting immediately. I would wholeheartedly recommend Jill to anyone who has any reservations about purchasing a place. It is because of Jill that I was able to find a place I could call home. Her professionalism coupled with her easy going, friendly attitude made my first home purchase a complete success.

    Chris Pankner, Lakeview
  • Home buying is usually an infrequent event for most of us and therefore is something most of really know little about. Jill's knowledge of the local real estate market and quick appreciation of our housing objectives resulted in a very smooth and successful search. Plus her follow up afterwards, providing us with outstanding referrals (attorney and mortgage broker), made the experience a positive one.

  • Jill is a wonderful Realtor who obviously cares about her clients. She went to great links finding exactly what I was looking for in a home. Her knowledge is indispensable. She went out of her way to help us find our new home. I would recommend Jill to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Chicago area!

  • My experience working with Jill at Dream Town was truly amazing. She really listened and heard what was important to me for my first home purchase and within a week of actual looking (in the depths of January in Chicago winter!), we found my dream home. At closing even my lawyer commented on how impressed he was with Jill. Thank you- thank you- thank you Jill!'

  • Jill was the best partner I could have hoped for my first time as a buyer. She was eager to work with me and responsive to all my questions and concerns. She made the daunting process as easy and fun as it could be. I work in sales and customer service and therefore I have high standards which are seldom met when I am the customer, but Jill delivered at every step. Her success is clearly a result of the way she values her clients and commands her business. I'll call Jill again, next time I move up in the world.

  • In April 2007, we purchased our Old Town condo through Jill Hare. We met Jill almost inadvertently -- the agent we were working with was not overly responsive, so we were looking for properties online on our own. On a Sunday night at 10:30 p.m., Jill was the agent who responded immediately to our online inquiry as to whether a certain property (the one we ultimately purchased), had outdoor space. She not only arranged for us to see the property THE NEXT MORNING, but we were able to see other properties on the same street at the same time that she recommended. Her recommendations were precisely on point. When we decided to purchase, her negotiation skills were impeccable. She handled negotiation, financing details with our lender as well as the builder selections and remaining finishes with precision and insight. She has knowledgeable and cost-effective connections with other professionals and was able to anticipate our needs (and potential issues) with accuracy and skill. We've been here almost a year now. I couldn't more highly recommend a agent as thorough and knowledgeable as Jill Hare. Dawn and Fred Johnson, Old Town
